[PATCH v3 0/8] perf tools amd ibs: Fixes + Zen6 enhancements

[Ravi Bangoria]

o Fix kernel version check in perf IBS unit test.
o On Zen6 and newer platforms, skip perf unit test that assumes IBS don't
  have hardware-assisted privilege filter.
o Starting with Zen4, the validity of several IBS fields changes. Add
  the required dependency checks when decoding IBS MSRs.
o Zen6 and future platforms extends IBS OP with Streaming-Store and
  Remote-Socket indicators for load/store instructions. Add decoding
  support for these new bits.
o Document new IBS features in perf-amd-ibs man page 

IBS Zen6 enhancements doc:
  AMD64 Zen6 Instruction Based Sampling (IBS) Extensions and Features,
  Pub. 69205 Rev. 1.00 March 2026 
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=310002

Patches are prepared on perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next (53bc03289278).

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260430061115.10266-1-ravi.bangoria@amd.com  
v2->v3:
 - Instead of removing the priv modifier unit test completely, skip
   it on platforms that supports hardware privilege filtering. (Namhyung)
 - Rebased the series on latest perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next.

[PATCH v3 1/8] perf test amd ibs: Fix incorrect kernel version check

[Ravi Bangoria]

"AMD IBS sample period" unit test is getting skipped on kernel v7.x. Fix
the kernel version >= v6.15 check.

[Ravi Bangoria]

[PATCH v3 3/8] perf test ibs: Skip privilege test on Zen6 and newer platforms

[Ravi Bangoria]

IBS on pre-Zen6 platforms lacked a hardware privilege filter, so the
kernel enabled swfilt=1. Zen6 and newer platforms provides privilege
filtering via the RIP[63] bit, making swfilt redundant. Skip the perf
unit test that assumes IBS has no hardware-assisted privilege filter
on Zen6 and newer platforms.

swfilt is ignored by kernel on platforms that support RIP[63] bit filter
i.e. all amd-ibs-swfilt.sh tests will test hardware assisted privilege
filter.

Without the patch on Zen6:

  # sudo ./perf test -vv 77
   77: AMD IBS software filtering:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 30813
  check availability of IBS swfilt

[PATCH v3 4/8] perf amd ibs: Suppress bogus TlbRefillLat and DCPhysAd on Zen4+

[Ravi Bangoria]

On Zen4 (and future) CPUs, IBS_OP_DATA3[TlbRefillLat] is valid only if
IBS_OP_DATA3[DcPhyAddrValid] is set. Similarly, IBS_DC_PHYSADDR is valid
if IBS_OP_DATA3[DcLinAddrValid] is _also_ set. Add these checks while
decoding IBS MSRs.

When IBS is triggered by an unprivileged user, the kernel now zeroes
PhysAddr before storing raw IBS register values in the perf sample. The
perf tool, however, still outputs these zero physical addresses, which
serves no purpose. So avoid printing zero physical addresses.

Instead of explicit family/model checks use the !zen4_ibs_extensions as
a proxy flag to cover Zen 3 and earlier revisions.

[PATCH v3 5/8] perf amd ibs: Make Fetch status bits dependent on PhyAddrValid for newer platforms

[Ravi Bangoria]

On Zen6 and future platforms, IBS_FETCH_CTL status fields are valid only
if IBS_FETCH_CTL[IbsPhyAddrValid] is set. Same for IBS_FETCH_CTL_EXT.
Add these checks while decoding IBS MSRs.

Unfortunately, there is no CPUID bit to indicate the change. Fallback
to Family/Model check.

[PATCH v3 8/8] perf doc: Document new IBS capabilities in man page

[Ravi Bangoria]

Include examples of
o Privilege filter with Fetch and Op PMUs, including swfilt approach on
  Zen5 and older platforms and hardware assisted filter on Zen6 and newer
  platforms
o Streaming store filter with Op PMU
o Fetch latency filter with Fetch PMU

+Hardware privilege filtering uses bit 63 to distinguish between kernel
+and userspace addresses. Hardware privilege filtering is not supported
+on 32-bit systems. Also, the bit 63 convention is not universal and can
+fail in specific environments, such as, using 64-bit host IBS to profile
+a 32-bit guest, using 64-bit host IBS to profile non-Linux 64-bit guests
+that do not adhere to the bit 63 privilege standard etc.
